Fast upgrade for KDE and GCC
Hi Folks,
You can upgrade to kde-3.1.2 and gcc-3.2.3 from the previous versions very quickly by following these steps:

First you need deltup 0.2.8:
Code:
wget http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/deltup/ebuild.tar
tar -xvf ebuild.tar -C /usr/portage
emerge deltup


then you can download and apply the kde patches (5.0 MB):
Code:
wget http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/deltup/kde-3.1.1-3.1.2.dtu
edelta -p kde-3.1.1-3.1.2.dtu


and to get gcc (1.8 MB):
Code:
wget http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/deltup/gcc_3.2.2-3.2.3.dtu
edelta -p gcc_3.2.2-3.2.3.dtu


now you can emerge them:
Code:
emerge gcc
emerge kde


Good luck and God bless!

Well, compiling still takes ages (compiling as we speak).
But I find your approach (usings diffs) rather clever.

Since almost all of us have broadband I'd think that the compile is 99% of the time.

Lots of us have dialup :)
Not to mention bandwidth (and _somebody_ pays for each byte delivered) savings.

IIRC, deltup was being considered for being intergrated into portage. Now if only someone could figure out a reliable way to do it!

Now I am not a python programmer, and I have no intention of telling the people who programmed portage what to do (I hate when people tell me, "well if your so smart why don't you do it yourself!"). But couldn't this be statically done for large things like KDE?

A patch from OpenOffice 1.0.2 to 1.0.3 is available now, but you need deltup-0.3.0 to use it:
Code:
wget http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/deltup/ebuild-0.3.0.tar
tar -xvf ebuild-0.3.0.tar -C /usr/portage
emerge deltup


Then get the OO patch (11.1 MB):
Code:
wget http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/deltup/OOo_1.0.2-1.0.3.dtu
edelta -p OOo_1.0.2-1.0.3.dtu


Now it's ready for emerging!

Agreed on that. :D

I'm moving to a house that's sort of "in the country" so my choices are, well, dialup, satellite, or some sort of guerilla wireless. 8O Here in the ol' U.S. of A., because people outside of the major 20 markets are spread out, some of us just get left out in the cold. And heck, even in major cities like New York broadband is still struggling, last I knew. And even for those of us who are lucky enough to have access to broadband, there are ether astronomically high rates for unlimited access (at least, astronomical to those of us on tight budgets :) ) or charges for the amount of data transferred...

I'd be willing to bet that there are some non-USians who would appreciate bandwidth-saving techniques as well. :D

I have great broadband, and interestingly enough I am not in the US (canada). My ISP really doesn't give a shit how much data I transfer. The "official" limit is 4 gigs per month but they just don't enforce it. My friend actually had his connection maxed out for like 2 months solid and they didn't complain :D

<-- envies gandalf_grey. i agree that there are a lot more dial-up users than you'd think, me being one of them. i think it'd be great if this got added into portage
